SC Pannell Smart Grenache 2023

Imagine a wine that whispers “sun-warmed ironstone” rather than shouts jam-on-toast. The Smart Vineyard Grenache 2023 from S.C. Pannell is exactly that: deep ruby in the glass with aromas of raspberry leaf tea, orange peel and persimmon, layered with sage and a hint of white pepper. On the palate it’s beautifully balanced—vibrant red fruits meet confident tannins, fine in texture yet strong in presence. The 67-year-old bush vines on laminated siltstone soils lend both purity and strength, while the minimal intervention winemaking allows the site and variety to shine. With elegance, depth and structure, this is Grenache in its most refined form—drink now for elegance or cellar for longevity.
